Community News

With Spring’s arrival we have begun to prepare our Community Garden. Residents are invited to “farm” a plot in the garden and enjoy a harvest of fresh vegetables, fruit, even flowers. Stop into the Rental Office to ask questions or sign up for a spot. It’s always a lot of fun to see who has the greenest thumb!

We will be having an Open House on Saturday, March 7 and Sunday, March 8 from 10-2. We will be entering names in a drawing to win different prizes for people that come to the open house.

Plus we have a special Resident Referral Program in March only. Refer a friend in March and you will receive a $200 Visa gift card if they sign a 12 month lease. Call the Rental Office for more information on our special March Resident Referral Program

It’s one week until Thanksgiving! The staff of Springetts Apartments wants to wish everyone a fabulous and safe Thanksgiving. We also want to remind everyone that our office will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, November 27. We will resume normal business hours on Friday, November 28.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix 2 cups of the flour with the baking soda and baking powder. Mix the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour with the ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and allspice. In a 1 quart, wide mouth canning jar, layer the ingredients starting with the flour and baking powder mixture, then the brown sugar, and finally the flour and spice mixture. Pack firmly between layers.

Mix in 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine, 3/4 cup molasses, and 1 slightly beaten egg. Dough will be very stiff, so you may need to use your hands. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 3. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into shapes with a cookie cutter.

Congratulations to the staff and residents at Springetts Apartments. At the 2013 Central PA Best of Living Awards, Springetts received the Star Performer for Overall Best Apartment Community in Central PA and the Overall Leasing Excellence Award.

We have lived at Springetts Apartments for almost 3 years. In our time here, we have found the apartments very well maintained. The office staff and maintenance crew are friendly, pleasant and courteous. The few calls that we have had to make have been answered quickly and the repairs done professionally. I would, and have, highly recommend the complex to someone needing an apartment. Although we don’t take advantage of a lot of the activities offered, I think that is something very enticing to get residents acquired. Our experience has only been pleasant, and we expect to live here as long as our health permits.

Springetts is hosting a Chili Dinner night to benefit Multiple Sclerosis Research for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The benefit will take place Friday, September 13 at the Community Building, starting at 5:00 pm. If you can’t join us at the Community Building but still wish to participate, take-out will be available. Please contact the rental office for more information. We’ve also highlighted the event in our September newsletter.
